You can check the Modahaus blog and guides over at their website for all sorts of tips. I also experimented with using an Ott Lite on the 216. Fantastic results! <br /><br />http://www.beadinggem.com/2012/04/jewelry-photography-using-ott-lite-lamp.html<br /><br />The light tunnel does a good job at reflecting light inside. It was a little trickier using a Steady Stand and an Ott Lite. Check out my review post on the new version of the 216 : <br /><br />http://www.beadinggem.com/2012/06/review-modahaus-tabletop-studio-pro.html<br /><br />I highly recommend the 216.The Beading Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373750828368944711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-11834764172145746152012-06-15T15:37:22.538-04:002012-06-15T15:37:22.538-04:00Hi, quick question for ya.

Has anyone tested with artificial light (either lamps at night or daylight bulbs?)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16476400458134306407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-39844402288808784872012-03-05T15:27:03.933-05:002012-03-05T15:27:03.933-05:00These are wonderful tips!

I've been re-coding my website to have more color and will be making my show booth match, but I've been having trouble figuring out how to take clear photos with some color (I think silver shows perfectly on color, but some people find the color too bright/distracting)- and how to unify the website and the booth. Frames might do it...Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04140149237672553218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312145685876120575.post-47734815659040006882012-02-26T08:42:50.664-05:002012-02-26T08:42:50.664-05:00I liked the way Lex used the frames.
